Ulisse, the shade sail pole that combines strength, design and functionality. Made with elliptical steel design, offers unparalleled bending resistance compared with round poles.
It is a practical and safe solution that finds application for all Maanta sails.
Thanks to the 6 anchor points, Ulisse allows a good shadow cone adjustment.
- Elliptical steel 4 x 2 x ⁵/₆₄ in. Total height 108 ¼ in. (52 ³/₄ + 55 ¹/₈ in)
- Incomparable strength, design and bending resistance with respect to any round tube
- Protective galvanization and anthracite or dark corten rust resistant industrial paintwork
- Variable and independent height for one or more sails (up to 6). Perfect shade adjustment and dynamic protection from the sun
- Includes accessories for $90
- Sturdy ground base ³/₈ in thick steel (or wall mountings)
- Kit Muscle x3 Pole with rope (silver in galvanized e anthracite, beige in dark corten) and galvanized steel pulleys and shackles
- Hardware and crews required for assembly (threaded rods for ground/wall anchoring not included)
The hardware and crews required for assembly are included, but in order to anchor it we recommend the use of our M12 x 13 cm threaded rods and of the chemical anchoring M-Plus (not included).
Remember: for sails larger than 270 ft², we recommend the use of the upwind tie rod.

Description
The Ulisse shade pole is a specific product for garden sails.
This particular type of shade requires particularly taut fabrics to cope perfectly with the wind and optimize rainwater drainage.
It is also necessary to give a height difference of at least one corner of the sail to allow drainage of the liquid element and/or cut off the air.
It is from these needs that we have created the Ulisse pole, which is considerably stiffer than the 110 diameter stainless steel poles.
The bending strength is incomparable to a 2.4 inches diameter pole offered by many competitors.
The 2mm thickness and elliptical shape make it a design pole but at the same time incomparable tensile strength.
With the new anchoring system, we will have a lot of leeway: since the closer the top is to its anchor, the stronger it will be, the new Muscle X3 anchoring system will allow both maximum tension and maximum freedom.
It is no longer necessary to carefully calculate the dimensions of the kit, as the rope and pulleys will adapt wonderfully to changing needs and allow us to provide great tension to the end, thanks to the multiplication of the force by the pulleys.
With only 30 lbsapplied to the corner of the sail, we get 60 lbs!!!
The galvanizing process makes our colors persistent and durable, while the 4 different height options make the canopy malleable, helping you create shade where you need it (just raise or lower the flap), offering dynamic protection and aiding perfect rainwater drainage.
Up to 4 different sails (or 2 front sails and a rear brace to aid anchoring) can be anchored to the same pole using the hooks already provided!
The joint is designed to further reinforce the pole itself.
The pole restraint is achieved using a special mold that works to the tenth of a millimeter.
It will then be easy to assemble/disassemble the pole if necessary, mainly due to its design features and compact dimensions.
The pole kit includes a very sturdy plate a 0.4 inches thick base, able to withstand inclement weather.
Available in 75° - 90° and wall collar versions it is a specific and design shade sail pole with an unbeatable price/performance ratio.
Available versions
Ulisse - the 3 versions of the Ulisse Kit
The pole is available with 75° or 90° base plate.
Or with 90° wall collars, for the vertical fixing on walls.
Installation of the base plate
The base can be fixed on a concrete floor using threaded bars (available here).
Advantages
Functionality
Multi-sail setup, multiple fixing points. 4 Front and 2 rear fixing points that can also be used for accessories such as tie rods.
Design
The slender but sinuous profile goes perfectly with shade sails
Robustness
The incredible flexural strength makes it ideal for keeping shade sails perfectly taut, essential for ensuring resistance to wind and water runoff.
Installation
Just follow the guides, and the pole will be very simple to install. It is already equipped with ground bases or collar, and special tensioners to anchor the sail.
Features and Dimensions
Thanks to the various fixing points it will be possible to lower or raise the sails dynamically, effectively protecting from the sun.
Both the galvanized and painted versions are resistant to rust and salt. The design and thickness make it virtually free of bending.
The elliptical tube has been carefully selected: the profile has a very sinuous design that goes perfectly with the lines of the sails. In addition to this it shows great resistance to bending, both thanks to its thickness and to its shape.
The kit is offered full-optional and already includes the appropriate accessories to attach the sail but also the ground base or the wall collars.
VARIABLE HEIGHT
Only thanks to this functionality will we be able to have a dynamic shading, a unique design and a installation able to drain the water and cut the wind.
DYNAMIC SHADING
The ability to adjust the heights of the individual sail corners allows us to obtain shadow exactly below the structure. We can vary the heights in a few seconds, thus varying the shading.
MULTI-SAIL FRONT/REAR
There are 6 fixing points, 4 front and 2 rear. Up to 6 sails (or accessories such as tie rods) can therefore be hooked at the same time.
MULTI-SAIL SETUPS(UP TO 6 SAILS)
Thanks to the 6 anchoring points on one single pole we can perform multiple installations to cover important spaces using a single pole.
STABILITY UNDER TENSION
The elliptical profile combined with the thickness and diameter make this pole really rigid. This resistance to bending is extraordinary in order not to lose tension on the sails and not to make him "water bellies".
RESISTANCE
The pole is subjected to high-quality protective galvanising. The anthracite version is industrially powder-coated.
FULL-OPTIONAL
Includes a sturdy 10 mm thick steel floor base (or wall brackets), variable height, Muscle hitch and cable stay kit.

TENSIONED SAILSCorrect tensioning is one of the most important factors during assembly
The advantages of a well-taut sail are:
- better wind resistance (does not tear and does not wear fixings)
- no pockets of water are created (waterproof sails)
- greater longevity of the sail and fixings

BETTER ASSISTANCE
Better assistance than Amazon, very kind and helpful. Exceptional quality and design for both poles and curtains.The first wind test showed the clear superiority between the purchased 4x5m sail and that of another brand that we previously mounted. The shade sail lets the wind pass without getting upset.
Mounted here on Etna, it has also faced its first volcanic ash rain without any damage.

EXCELLENT CONSISTENCY
I have carried out several orders related to anchor poles and sails and I have always had a great time. The anchoring poles are of excellent workmanship and of great quality ditto for sailing awnings. I have always placed telephone orders, finding competent and kind operators every time.

FAQ
The Ulisse pole is specially designed to anchor more than one sail. In fact, it is equipped with 6 different attachment points that allow multi-sail anchoring and total customization of the shaded area.
Yes, the Ulisse pole withstands adverse weather conditions. It is made of galvanized or paint coated steel and guarantees protection from rust.
Simply unscrew the eyebolt and place it at the desired position. This feature allows total shading customization according to the specific needs based on the time of day, the season, and weather conditions.
Ulisse can be used with all Maanta sails not exceeding 270 ft². In which case, we recommend opting for Alu Simple, our aluminum pole with front and back tracks.
We strongly advise against this operation, but should you wish to proceed we cannot guarantee success given the tenth-of-a-millimeter accuracy of the digital cut with which it is made.
No. Ulisse poles are provided with a steel ground base to be installed on a cemented base at least 6 in thick, or on a 25 x 25 x 25 in concrete plinth.

Exceptional Product
I bought two of the 25° angle sail poles. Arrived well packaged and unharmed. The poles are very sturdy. Used to make 16'x16' shade for car park. I could tension the sail tightly and used different attachment points to provide a drainage path for rain. Overall, very pleased with the result and highly recommended.

Sail shade poles
We purchased these poles after purchasing a pair from Amazon which failed after a week or so. We bought these in hopes they would be a quality product and they definitely are! They have held up wonderfully and look great on our patio.
